'Fill' party announces The Chronicle stands by its story which reported that several present and past state employees alleged that Bruhn. one of Governor Calvin L. Ramp ton's aides, and Strand, a farmer Bruhn employee, were involved in the promotion of stocks on state time in 1972. Ieedy denied that Bruhn was involved in any promotion of stock. The Chronicle story reported that a former state employee said Bruhn had given him stock certificates which Bruhn later replaced because of "irregularities. The former employee said that Bruhn showed him certificates for Northwest Pacific Enterprises, Inc., which Bruhn said he had purchased. The former employee said he learned after he had invested money in the stock that Bruhn had not bought it, but had been given the stock by Strand. According to the Secretary of State's office. Northwest Pacific Enterprises was dissolved in 1974 for failure to pay income taxes. A command level officer in Salt Lake law enforcement confirmed that state employees had made the allegations. A portion of the Feb. 3 article, which referred to threatening phone calls made to city prosecutor Merv Holt, was ambiguous and may have implied that Bruhn knew who was making the calls. Holt received threatening and obscene calls from and man and a woman. Barbara Grossman, a reporter for KUTV said she was told by Bruhn that he thought hi1 knew who the woman was. Holt told the Chronicle he would have likt d to know who v the calls. Holt said Bruhn didn't tell him who he thought the woman was who' made the calls. The Chronicle apologizes for this error. The letter demanded that the Chronicle divulge the identity of its sources. Leedy said, "I don't believe any one made those statements." The Chronicle will continue to guarantee, the confidential nature of its sources.
